Hotel Development in NYC Hotel Development In Hotel Development in NYC Hotel Development in NYC Welcome to New York. The hotel pipeline of active developments, renovations, restorations, and expansions continues to outpace the US growth picture. With an active inventory across the five boroughs of more than 117,300 hotel rooms; the city is attracting new brands, international properties, authentic neighborhood independents, and a wide-ranging collection of select service brands, business class hotels, lifestyle and boutique properties, and new luxury destinations. This report covers more than 200 hotels and projects that represent almost 40,000 net room additions to the city’s diverse inventory between 2015 and 2020-2021. So far, this year, we have added six new hotels representing 1,685 additional rooms through April 2018. Looking out to 2020 there are another 121 projects in the development pipeline bringing the room capacity to 138,000 rooms or more. Exciting developments through the second half of 2018 will include the Times Square Edition, a new citizen M Hotel, the Spanish AC Hotel in downtown, two new Moxy branded properties (Chelsea and Downtown), and a new Ace hotel-affiliated Sister City on the Bowery. Brooklyn will see the opening of several independents including Baltic Huis, The Hoxton Brooklyn, and the Bond Hotel. Queens hotel development is moving beyond the airports to exciting neighborhoods in Long Island City, Flushing, Jamaica and Fresh Meadows as several properties will open including a Hilton Garden Inn, Hotel Indigo, SpringHill Suites and a dual branded Courtyard by Marriott/Fairfield Inn & Suites. Less well known, but definitely on the visitor map, are the new developments in both the Bronx and Staten Island. By year end the active inventory is expected to reach 125,300 rooms. Manhattan hotels have expanded beyond midtown and can now be found from Harlem to Roosevelt Island, from the Upper Eastside to Lower Manhattan, the Village, Chinatown, and the Seaport District. As exciting visitor destinations Chelsea, NoMad, Meatpacking, Tribeca and Hell’s Kitchen evolve, new hotels are finding unique opportunities for renovated and newly built properties. The Javits Center and Hudson Yards as well as Times Square and the Theater District have spurred exciting growth, especially in mid-priced hotels, throughout these neighborhoods. Paired with the City’s existing world-class inventory, options exist at every price point and desired length of stay. From one-night visits to extended stays, from family suites to business class accommodations, from pod-like quarters to spacious penthouses, the City has rooms to suit all traveler needs and preferences. The opportunities for any business, group or independent leisure traveler are immense and continuously improving. Already looking ahead to 2019 the city’s hospitality industry is planning for the addition of an estimated 9,000 rooms in at least 47 new developments in all the boroughs. This will include the return of the landmark Chelsea Hotel, the Eero Saarinen designed TWA flight center returning as the 512 room TWA Hotel and meeting center, new brands making their home in New York including Equinox, Moxy, Six Senses, Pestana and Hyatt Centric. The new product in 2020 currently represents at least 17 new properties and over 2,500 new rooms and includes more new brands with a Virgin Hotel and an Aman Hotel.

The “Roaring 20’s-esque” space draws inspiration from the glitz and glamour of New York’s bygone eras, modernized for the 21st century. Featuring an expertly crafted cocktail menu, The Stayton Room also boasts an innovative Bar Fare menu by Chef Richard Sandoval. The bar’s name is a nod to notable anti-prohibitionist William Stayton, who played a key role in bringing about the repeal of the 18th Amendment in 1933. “We are extremely proud of our rich history in New York City, and The Stayton Room is yet another example of our past influencing our future,” said The Lexington Hotel’s Area Managing Director Kaizad Charna. “We noticed a distinct lack of well designed, high-end bars, and we are thrilled to help change the neighborhood culture with The Stayton Room.” Conveniently located on East 48th Street and situated adjacent to the hotel’s lobby, The Stayton Room invites guests to step back in time to a world of Art Deco luxury, featuring dark wood, plush sofas and intimate lighting.

    FALL HOSPITALITY REPORT (2015) MANHATTAN FALL HOSPITALITY REPORT MANHATTAN 2015 1 | P a g e FALL HOSPITALITY REPORT (2015) MANHATTAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY According to the Starr report, Manhattan’s hotel sector has been growing by over 4.0 % since 2010 both by ADR and number of rooms. The demand still far exceeds supply especially for 5 star brands. Early in the hotel recovery in 2011, three star brands grew in number of rooms and ADR initially. As the recovery went into full swing by late 2013, four and five star hotel development continued to outpace three star hotel growth. Global investors are seeking five star hotel product in Manhattan and at $1.0 million up to $2.0 million per key. For instance, Chinese investors bought the Waldorf Astoria and the Baccarat Hotels both at substantially above $1.0 million per key. Manhattan is one of the best hotel markets in the world between growing tourism and inexpensive accommodations compared to other global gateway cities like London, Paris, Moscow, Hong Kong, etc. Any established global hotel brand also requires a presence in Manhattan. In 2014 alone, 4,348 keys were added to Manhattan’s existing 108,592 rooms. Currently, another 14,272 rooms are under construction in the city and about 4000 keys (1/3) are for boutique hotels. As of July 2015, the Manhattan market has approximately 118,000 keys. They are segmented as follows: Currently, there is a 4.0% annual compounded growth rate. Despite this growth, demand for hotel rooms from tourism, conventions, cultural events, and corporate use continues to grow as Manhattan is one of the most desirable locations for all of the above uses especially tourism from Asia and Europe.

    Hotel Development in NYC Hotel Development in NYC: Summer-Fall 2021 It’s Time for New York City – Summer-Fall Hotel Update The New York City hotel community offers the most expansive and varied choices of hotel accommodations across the five boroughs, in neighborhoods from the Bronx to Staten Island. As the City continues to plan for more activities, more openings, and more visitors within the highest safety guidelines, more rooms are returning to active inventory and building activity continues on more than 70 properties. Through early August 2021, there have been 12 new hotel openings adding 2,805 rooms. The active pipeline adds another 14,700 rooms over the next 3 years. As of the beginning of August, the New York City’s hotel sector saw over 104,000 rooms in active inventory, accounting for about 80 percent of the total capacity including new and under construction projects. Each month established favorites are coming back on line to welcome business and leisure travelers to their rooms and amenities. Following a year marked by temporary closures, limited capacity, and acquisitions, the city’s hotel pipeline remains one of the most active in the country. Despite the disruptions caused by the pandemic, construction on the majority of new and developing projects resumed as soon as work was permitted. Foundations are being dug, floors are rising, facades are changing the look of neighborhoods and interior work is putting the finishing touches on hundreds of new rooms. The hotel pipeline in New York City continues to stand out in the US for diversity of properties and investment.

  • When GFI Development—One of the Development Groups Behind The
    When GFI Development—one of the development groups behind the NoMad and Ace Hotel New York—tasked Thomas Juul- Hansen (TJH) with tackling the James New York – NoMad, a renovation of the former Carlton Hotel into Denihan Hospitality Group’s newest, the neighborhood had been experiencing a bit of a rebirth. Yet, the James is “a key development in the renaissance of the NoMad neighborhood,” notes Denihan president and COO Vera Manoukian, “bringing a balanced lifestyle approach to the community,” where guests don’t even have to leave the hotel to achieve both serenity and conviviality. Not to mention, the New York design studio, known for its work on high-end residences, including the Beekman condos in Lower Manhattan, was happily surprised at the benefits of working on a hotel. “Being able to carry a full vision all the way through to completion—right down to the art and accessories—was very rewarding,” says TJH studio director Michael Stevens. “With residential work, there’s always a point where the owners take over and make it their own,” whereas the inherent nature of designing a hotel was liberating, he adds. Completed on a tight budget and schedule, the project involved creating a new identity for the hotel, including a redesign of all 337 guestrooms, while sticking with the original configurations and layouts for most of the rooms. Luxe details and materials set the residential tone: “Patterns come from the veining of the marble, the walnut in the headboard and armoire, and the brass bar cabinet, and bring a lot of warmth.
